Question -

Twenty-seven solid iron spheres, each of radius r and surface area S aremelted to form a sphere with surface area SтАЩ. Find the

(i) radius rтАЩ of the new sphere,

(ii) ratio of Sand SтАЩ.



Answer -

Volume of the solidsphere = (4/3)╧Аr3

Volume of twenty sevensolid sphere = 27├Ч(4/3)╧Аr3┬а= 36 ╧А r3

(i) New solid ironsphere radius = rтАЩ

Volume of this newsphere = (4/3)╧А(rтАЩ)3

(4/3)╧А(rтАЩ)3┬а=36 ╧А r3

(rтАЩ)3┬а=27r3

rтАЩ= 3r

Radius of new spherewill be 3r (thrice the radius of original sphere)

(ii) Surface area ofiron sphere of radius r, S =4╧Аr2

Surface area of ironsphere of radius rтАЩ= 4╧А (rтАЩ)2

Now

S/SтАЩ = (4╧Аr2)/(4╧А (rтАЩ)2)

S/SтАЩ = r2/(3rтАЩ)2┬а=1/9

The ratio of S and SтАЩ is 1:9.
